At Christmas time we gather,
With lights soft, warm and clear,
And hold in heart the loved ones
We're missing most this year.

Their stories shape our whanau,
Their aroha still remains,
A quiet strength that lingers,
Through sunshine, storms and rains.

So as the season settles,
May peace surround your days
A moment's calm, a breath of hope
And comfort in small ways.
